"...Let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us." Hebrews 12:1

Marking The Date
Yesterday was May 29, 2007. For some, that marks a birthday, a special occasion or anniversary. For me, this is an extraordinary day as it marks two monumental occasions of my life. On May 29, 1984, I left from the airport in Indianapolis, IN, and soon found myself freshly shaven bald and standing on yellow footprints at Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego, CA. There, I began my military career which now spans 23 years. But, most significantly is this same date just four years earlier. At the age of fourteen, on May 29, 1980, I realized that "being good" was not "good enough" to get to Heaven. I realized that sin is what separates me from a proper relationship with God. So, on the cold basement floor in my grandparent's home in Terre Haute, IN, with the guidance of my uncle Don Mallory, I confessed my sinfulness and that my "good nature" was still a "sin nature" and that no matter how good I tried to be, I still needed Jesus Christ. I received Jesus Christ as my Savior that night. I have never been the same since. Are you looking for a change? Are you still struggling in life even despite how "good" you try to live? Could it be that one thing is still missing in your life? Is it Jesus? Only he can fill that "void" that eats at your inner being. Parties and being popular won't fill it. Alcohol, sexual indulgence, drugs, or striving for stardom won't get it either. Only Jesus! Let that statement sink in...only Jesus.
